Trump Sending Fed Forces to Chicago and Baltimore

Trump said he'd love to have Pritzker call and say, "Send in the troops" " even though the governor has repeatedly said he won't be doing that. "If the governor of Illinois would call up, call me up, I would love to do it," Trump said. "Now, we're going to do it anyway. We have the right to do it."

Comments

The Governors of Illinois and Maryland should immediately call up their own NG to block whatever Trump sends. I guess the Republicans are no longer the party of states rights.

Trump sent the military to Los Angeles and all they did was hang out in warehouses and hand out some parking tickets.

The national guard in DC is picking up trash.

It's all a waste of tax dollars.

It's ineptitude.

Trump is a fascist.

Picking up trash or simply walking (armed) around these cities, its meant to intimidate US citizens and it needs to be stopped.

"its meant to intimidate US citizens"

how does it intimidate US citizens? you mean minorities that are afraid they'll get mistaken for an illegal and get detained?

Agreed.

But what Trump is mainly after is an altercation so he can declare martial law.

He didn't get on in Los Angeles.

Maybe Chicago or Baltimore will oblige him.

Are we a military state now? Nice that it doesn't bother you. It should bug the crap out of anyone who understands history, or the law.

"Posse comitatus"

-Nice that it doesn't bother you.

well, I'm not sure it bothers anybody really.....but let's say it actually bothers you.

That's not the point I was making. Does it intimidate you?

I'm not going to see any of these soldiers so I won't pretend to know how it would intimidate me.....but I'm asking who is it intended on intimidating?

how does it intimidate US citizens?

If I saw a bunch of military personnel in one area, I'd probably avoid that area simply to avoid getting caught up in whatever was happening.

I wouldn't let it prevent me from going to vote. But I'd be uncomfortable depending how it was set up.

I'm sure there are others who would feel more uncomfortable with it than I would be. Perhaps enough to choose not to vote.

Trump doesn't need to deter everyone. Just enough people for it to help his chances of winning the election.

Eberly would say roundups for concentration camps are "normal police procedures".

He's a dope, or not, and lying.

I'm thinking Lying.

Mainly because he never learns anything new.

It's odd that he's so interested in why these things are bad but doesn't Get it even when it's pretty clear.

Liar.

I agree voting might be impacted by it.

Are you more concerned about Trump succeeding here? Or black people not dying?

Or do you want more black people dead?

Its hard to tell who the evil one here is.

Are we a military state now?

When 8 die and 50 wounded, what else would you call it?

I told you this would happen; this is what happens when you let crime go crazy and illegal immigrants enter unmitigated.

Must be nice for you, not having to live in a warzone.

Why is he not sending them to Danville or Springfield or Peoria or the many other cities in Illinois that have a higher crime rate than Chicago? Does he not care about those people?
